Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms - Slimline Cards #6

Dear Bloggers,

When I saw the spellbinders die set, 'Be Bold Blooms', I fell in love with the etching, beautiful floral shapes, lovely clusters and selection of leaves. I could not stop cutting and spent quite a few days just making pretty flowers.  I then spent many weeks making LOTS of cards with the gorgeous blooms. In fact, I made so many cards that I have divided them up into 8 separate posts.  This is the fifth in the series.  I invite you to look at the other seven.

I felt the Blooms would suit the 'slimline shape' with the flowers standing tall and proud.  I also really liked the Kraft cardstock as a background.....I have used lots of this colour combination in some of my Christmas cards, but that is another story.

The second card is a totally different palette to my personal favourite of pinks, purples and teals.  I made it for a friend of mine whose son tragically and unexpectedly died at 38 years of age.  She like maroon, gold and bling, so that was what I used.

This is my 'square set' of cards (well...mostly).  I wanted a big palette, large floral sprays, textured backgrounds and strong use of colour.  I especially like the coloured backgrounds.

I feel this series of cards has a 'funky and retro' vibe.

I have been playing around with the backgrounds for my cards using different background colours, scenes and easels.  I hope you like the variety...it is after all, 'the spice of life.'

'Flowers in Envelopes', Cards using Spellbinders, 'Be Bold Blooms' die.

Dear Bloggers,

When I saw the spellbinders die set, 'Be Bold Blooms', I fell in love with the etching, beautiful floral shapes, lovely clusters and selection of leaves. I could not stop cutting and spent quite a few days just making pretty flowers.  I then spent many weeks making LOTS of cards with the gorgeous blooms.

I wanted to pop the flowers into envelopes and place them on a card front. The pattern papers with small dots seemed to work well in the inside of the white envelops and i really liked the way the black stripes 'contained' the sprawling flowers in the teal envelope.

Spellbinders Yours Truly Collection - Etched dies, 'Bouquet of Flowers'. Post 2 of 2

Dear Bloggers,

The Spellbinders, 'Bouquet of Flowers' die set are just adorable.  I purchased them quite sometime ago but never seemed to get around to using them.  Until now, that is.....and wow I could not stop making gorgeous little bouquets of wrapped flowers.

These cards are just some of my collection.  If you would like to see more 'Bouquet Cards', please see my previous post.

These ones have a 'grunge vibe' with corrugated card, an earthy palette and hemp twine.
